Award-winning actor, writer and storyteller, Moses Goods, takes the stage in his one-man show, ‘Duke,’ which portrays the remarkable life of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku (1890-1968). Hawaii’s first Olympic gold medalist and the father of modern surfing, Duke Kahanamoku is one of the most beloved figures in Hawaiian history. Duke lived through Hawaii’s transition from an independent Nation to a U.S territory and on to statehood. Known for his humility, kindness and love of community, Duke’s fame and renown made him a source of inspiration for all.

Moses Goods, based in Honolulu, Hawaii, travels both nationally and internationally to perform his original work. Goods was awarded a certificate of appreciation from the United Nations Association of the United States of America Honolulu Chapter for his creation of the play, ‘Duke.’ New
